Patting my cheeks, which seem to be a little permanently flushed these days, I reach for my face serum. I pump out a couple of squirts into my hand and spritz myself with some rose water face mist, breathing in the beautiful, soft scent as I pat the serum on my face and spread it around. My fingers stroking over my neck and back up and I follow with a few drops of rosehip oil and a good dollop of moisturizer. Grabbing my rose quartz gui sha for a little extra attention on my face, I gently press the cool crystal over my skin in an upward and outwards motion.

I reach for my tinted moisturizer with SPF when my phone pings back at me. I glance down and smile when I see Beth’s name flash up.

Beth

Me

Beth

Me

Me

I press a palm against my warm skin and laugh to myself.

Me
